I think I averaged between 150 - 200mls a feed (I was expressing twice a day at work). I don't think I ever timed it I just kept going until no more milk came out 
And WOW at some of the amounts you ladies have got - a litre!?!

My supply was disgusting - it just didn't stop. No kidding, I didn't even start to feel comfortable until I'd expressed 200ml from each side and I would get that amount in 10mins each side The most I ever expressed before stopping (because it would've just kept going) was 300mls per side. I could do this any time of day, my supply did not drop back at night.
Many, especially those who have trouble building their supply up, would think I was lucky but it was awful. Just as bad as not having enough, it caused so many problems.

Hehe babyg I was reading that thinking I wish I could do that but maybe you're right, that could cause issues. 
The most I have ever got is 8ml off both sides in the morning, that was expressing until there was nothing left to express. Usually though I get maybe 2mls after a feed. I was REALLY happy with 8

Wow - opposite ends of the scale huh Jelly? 
Yeah, oversupply can be just as bad as undersupply in some cases 
Good luck, hope you can keep going with it.

Just have to update my record - 17mls just after lunch today! It was about 15 minutes after a feed though, so not straight away. Took ages too but made my day. It's nice to have proof the domperidone is working!

I can vouch for domperidone if you go down that route. I think I'm pretty much on it (60-80mls per day) for the remainder of breastfeeding. Miss a pill, supply drops drastically. Stupid body!
